Over break Tony and Dar-Dar pitched Tim and I an idea...an idea man's idea.  They wanted to sell cigarettes on a bike that would patrol the bar stretch on 6th St.  Cigarettes cannot be sold legally in the bars, Austin statute.  But 6th St. goers do smoke, and will; it seemed like a no-brainer, needing only initiative.  The bike pilot would dress as the grim reaper, and the cooler containing the cigarettes would be labelled "Merchant of Death."  An idea man's idea.  The reaper could infuse all sorts of character personality during sale; the idea and product would sell themselves.  The initial pecuniary investment would be minimal, consisting mainly of a bike purchase.  

Like many golden things, too good to be true.  ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, a federal agency) prohibits the sale of tobacco within 100 feet of any storefront selling alcohol, tobacco, or firearms, unless is itself another storefront.  Death knell! pun intended.  Oh well, an idea man can appreciate a good idea.
